Set up zone type

Please select a configuration for your zone.

Provide a single network where each VM instance is assigned an IP directly from the network. Guest isolation can be provided through layer-3 means such as security groups (IP address source filtering).

Basic

For more sophisticated network topologies. This network model provides the most flexibility in defining guest networks and providing custom network offerings such as firewall, VPN, or load balancer support.

Advanced

Isolation Mode

Choose this if you wish to use security groups to provide guest VM isolation.

Security Groups

A zone is the largest organizational unit in CloudStack, and it typically corresponds to a single datacenter. Zones provide physical isolation and redundancy. A zone consists of one or more pods (each of which contains hosts and primary storage servers) and a secondary storage server which is shared by all pods in the zone.

Physical Network

Public traffic

Pod

Guest Traffic

Storage Traffic

When adding an advanced zone, you need to set up one or more physical networks. Each network corresponds to a NIC on the hypervisor. Each physical network can carry one or more types of traffic, with certain restrictions on how they may be combined.

Drag and drop one or more traffic types onto each physical network.

When adding a basic zone, you can set up one physical network, which corresponds to a NIC on the hypervisor. The network carries several types of traffic.

You may also drag and drop other traffic types onto the physical network.

Storage Traffic

Public traffic is generated when VMs in the cloud access the Internet or provide services to clients over the Internet. Publicly accessible IPs must be allocated for this purpose. When a instance is created, an IP from this set of Public IPs will be allocated to the instance in addition to the guest IP address. Static 1-1 NAT will be set up automatically between the public IP and the guest IP. End users can also use the CloudStack UI to acquire additional IPs to implement static NAT between their instances and the public IP.Public traffic is generated when VMs in the cloud access the internet. Publicly-accessible IPs must be allocated for this purpose. End users can use the CloudStack UI to acquire these IPs to implement NAT between their guest network and their public network.

Provide at least one range of IP addresses for internet traffic.

Each zone must contain in one or more pods, and we will add the first pod now. A pod contains hosts and primary storage servers, which you will add in a later step. First, configure a range of reserved IP addresses for CloudStack\'s internal management traffic. The reserved IP range must be unique for each zone in the cloud.

Storage Traffic

Guest network traffic is communication between end-user virtual machines. Specify a range of IP addresses that CloudStack can assign to guest VMs. Make sure this range does not overlap the reserved system IP range.Guest network traffic is communication between end-user virtual machines. Specify a range of VLAN IDs to carry guest traffic for each physical network.

Cluster

Primary Storage

Secondary Storage

Each pod must contain one or more clusters, and we will add the first cluster now. A cluster provides a way to group hosts. The hosts in a cluster all have identical hardware, run the same hypervisor, are on the same subnet, and access the same shared storage. Each cluster consists of one or more hosts and one or more primary storage servers.

Secondary Storage

Each cluster must contain at least one host (computer) for guest VMs to run on, and we will add the first host now. For a host to function in CloudStack, you must install hypervisor software on the host, assign an IP address to the host, and ensure the host is connected to the CloudStack management server.

Give the host\'s DNS or IP address, the user name (usually root) and password, and any labels you use to categorize hosts.

Each cluster must contain one or more primary storage servers, and we will add the first one now. Primary storage contains the disk volumes for all the VMs running on hosts in the cluster. Use any standards-compliant protocol that is supported by the underlying hypervisor.

Secondary Storage

Each zone must have at least one NFS or secondary storage server, and we will add the first one now. Secondary storage stores VM templates, ISO images, and VM disk volume snapshots. This server must be available to all hosts in the zone.

Provide the IP address and exported path.

Please wait while your zone is being created; this may take a while...
